Installation and initial configuration

  • Walk through GLPI installation on a standard Linux server or Docker container with minimal resource requirements.
  • Configure user roles and permissions appropriate for school IT: admin, site technician, and read-only for leadership.
  • Set up asset categories that match education environments: classrooms, staff devices, network equipment, and AV kit.
2

Importing assets and daily operations

  • Import existing asset data from spreadsheets using GLPI's CSV import tool with field mapping.
  • Deploy FusionInventory agents on devices for automated discovery and ongoing inventory updates.
  • Demonstrate daily workflows: logging a new device, recording a repair, marking a device for disposal, and running reports.
3

Ticketing and lifecycle tracking

  • Set up basic helpdesk ticketing so staff can report issues and IT can track resolution.
  • Configure lifecycle statuses (in use, in repair, in storage, disposed) to track device journeys over time.
  • Generate reports for leadership showing device age, warranty expiry, and upcoming refresh needs.
